The best thing to put in your septic tank to keep it clean is a small amount of dry yeast once a month.
Dry yeast when added to a septic tank helps promote the growth of beneficial bacteria which break down the solid waste in the septic tank.
You can also add some baking soda or RidX to the septic tank to help keep it clean.
When baking soda is added to a septic tank the baking soda helps to maintain a balanced pH level in the septic tank and helps to support the growth of good and beneficial bacteria which breaks down the waste in the septic tank.
Adding too much baking soda though in a septic tank can disrupt the bacterial balance if used too much.
The signs that your septic tank needs pumped include.
You have trouble flushing your toilet, or it's constantly backing up.
Your pipes make a gurgling sound or drain very slowly.
Your lawn is suddenly growing lush, green grass.
Water starts to pool in your yard.
Your home or yard smells like sewage.
RIDX does really work and contains enzymes to help break down solids and organic material including your poop inside the septic tank.
Once you flush RIDX down your toilet the enzymes in RID-X begin working as soon as they come in contact with water.
The bacteria take 2-4 hours to germinate and then begin to break down solid waste.
If the temperature and conditions are favorable, then the bacteria will multiply to the maximum level that the environment will allow in about 2-4 days.
For a natural or homemade septic tank bacteria treatment, biological or bio septic tank treatment is best.
This includes enzymes and bacteria to break down waste naturally without harming the good bacteria in the tank.
RID-X is also designed to attack grease in the septic tank, breaking it down to slow the accumulation of the greasy scum layer, which, if left unchecked, can compromise the function of your septic system.
Inexpensive and easy to use you just flush it down the toilet.
There's no mess, mixing or waiting.
RIDX is available in three formulas which include gelpacs, powder and liquid.
All formulas of RIDX will work to help reduce the rate of sludge build-up to keep your septic system running smoothly until the next pumping.
You should have your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years to keep it from getting too full.

You have trouble flushing your toilet, or it's constantly backing up.
Your pipes make a gurgling sound or drain very slowly.
Your lawn is suddenly growing lush, green grass.
